Using a different template should be to change the page's function, not its form (in most cases). </p> http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/custom-posts-and-categories-old-way-and-new-way#post-33704 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:00:22 +0000 philmcdonnell 33704@http://themehybrid.com/support/ <p>Does this allow me to make a template for my posts to show them differently depending on the category that is selected?</p> <p>I am currently looking to change my layout depending on what category is selected.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Phil </p> http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/custom-posts-and-categories-old-way-and-new-way#post-33654 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 05:04:17 +0000 eddiejanzer 33654@http://themehybrid.com/support/ <p>good deal, thanks. </p> http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/custom-posts-and-categories-old-way-and-new-way#post-33645 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 01:30:19 +0000 Justin Tadlock 33645@http://themehybrid.com/support/ <p>Probably a much cleaner way to do this. Use <code>post-cat-$slug.php</code> or <code>post-cat-$id.php</code> in your child theme folder.</p> <pre><code>add_filter( &#39;single_template&#39;, &#39;my_single_template&#39; ); function my_single_template( $template ) { global $wp_query; $terms = get_the_terms( $wp_query-&gt;post-&gt;ID, &#39;category&#39; ); if ( isset( $terms ) ) { foreach( $terms as $term ) { $templates[] = &quot;post-cat-{$term-&gt;slug}.php&quot;; $templates[] = &quot;post-cat-{$term-&gt;term_id}&quot;; } } $have_template = locate_template( $templates ); if ( $have_template ) $template = $have_template; return $template; }</code></pre> <p><code>locate_template()</code> was introduced just after I wrote that tutorial, which makes it much easier. </p> http://themehybrid.com/support/topic/custom-posts-and-categories-old-way-and-new-way#post-33640 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:29:02 +0000 eddiejanzer 33640@http://themehybrid.com/support/ <pre><code>function structure_disable( $var ) { return false; } function my_single_template($single) { global $wp_query, $post; /** * Checks for single template by category * Check by category slug and ID */ foreach((array)get_the_category() as $cat) : if(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/single-cat-&#39; . $cat-&gt;slug . &#39;.php&#39;)) return SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/single-cat-&#39; . $cat-&gt;slug . &#39;.php&#39;; elseif(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/single-cat-&#39; . $cat-&gt;term_id . &#39;.php&#39;)) return SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/single-cat-&#39; . $cat-&gt;term_id . &#39;.php&#39;; endforeach; /** * Checks for default single post files within the single folder */ if(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/single.php&#39;)) return SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/single.php&#39;; elseif(file_exists(SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/default.php&#39;)) return SINGLE_PATH . &#39;/default.php&#39;; return $single; }</code></pre> <p>The above is what I learned on one of your posts Justin. I really like doing it this way because a custom post does not have to be chosen. Would i change "single.php" to "post.php" here and it still work ok with the new hybrid? </p>
